Kansas is sending out the atrongeet appeal of bar ' history for men to work'in tha harvest field. Tbe difficaltie of the last few year getting help to gather the wheat before it become dead ripe and scatters In tbe gathering will be intensified this year it tbe advance sign are token of what it to come. At least 25,000 more men than art in slgb( now will be needed, and desperate measure will be adopted to draft men into tbe service behind the self-binders. Competition for labcr I stronger this year than ever before. There jeein to be do idle men anywhere.' ' ' Appeals have been addressed to the employment agencies in Chicago, St. Louis and other large industrial cen ters. Tbe answer baa come back in al most every instance that it I impossi ble to fill tbe order. Factories are running at full capacity all over the country. Building opera tions are going on on a scale exceeding anything of tbe kind in paat years. These activities, In addition : to the many public improvements that are in progress, have absorbed tbe bnlk of tbe labor of the country, skilled and un skilled. State Free Employment Agent Gerow holds that a number of railroad are largely to blame for the shortage of harvest hands. He aaya tbe railroads need every man they can get to com' plete their own work, and for tbia re son have refused to grant the 1 cent a mile passenger rate that is usually made for the harvest bands. They fear, it Is seid, that the ca' I from the wheat fields, with the atti active wages, will draw away their labored, who get only. 11.25 for working on tracks ' The Rock Island and Union Pacific have given the harvester' rate, but the other linee are obdurate. ', There will be no room for complaint on account of compensation. Tbe farm era, if need be, will pay aa high as (3 day for good men. The ordinary wage will be 13. to 12.50. Board and lodging are also given. Farmer will co-operate with each other, and there will be less "stealing" of the band of other than in paat year. The flat ha gone out unofficially that there must be no able bodied - men in Kansas at harvest time. The loafer who can work will be obliged to toll or leave the state Local autborltie in citie and town hitherto have co-oper ated with the agriculturist in enlisting the whole available force for field work. Tbev will do so attain this year. Present indication are that Kansas will harvest 65.000,000 bushel of wheat.

PRELUDE TOIGENERAL ATTACK. Mattacte at Bialystok Will Be Imitat ed In Other Cities. Berlin. June' 18. "We have every reason to believe that tbe massacre of Jews at Bialystok is rehearsal for a wholesale repetition of tbe atrocities of last October,'' aald Dr. Paul Nathan, president ol the Central Jewish Relief league of Germany. "(Jar intormation indicates that the Bialystok massacre is the same sort of officially inspired counter revolutionary outbreak aa was that at Odesea, We have learned posi tively that the government' allegation that the trouble began in consequence of the bombs being thrown at a Chris tian religious procession by Jews is a ridiculous falsehood. Bialystok is still in the hands of the drunken Cossacks, who are determined that no Jews shall be allowed to escape or go unrobbed. Tbe military have deserted the rail way station ana every passing train is held up and the passengers plundered. Panic reigns in tbe neighboring vil lasee, which fear they will be tbe next object of attack. Numerous German firms and individuals are among me sufferers at Bialystok and cause the suggestion that German Intervention be invoked." . DISAGREE ON PIPE LINES.

III' Billa Now Pending for North Dakota, Virginia. North Carolina, f lorida and Other State. Washington, Jan 23. Early in the present session of congress Senator Hansbrougb, of North Dakota, intro duced a bill authorizing the expendi ture of 11,000,000 oat of the national reclamation fund for draining swamp in hi ataU. When the bill went be fore tbeJoommiUee on irrigatioa it waa found that every acre to be benefitted was in private ownership, and the bill. if enacted, would not open to entry single acre of public land. Notwltn standing these disclosure, the aenate committee ordered favorable . report out of courtesy because Hansbrough ia " member of tbe committee. It waa tfieD stated that a majority of the com mittee believed tbe bill a bad one, and it we attaed by several senators that it would never be permitted to pas the aenate. Nevertheless tbe bill did pass and la now before tbe house, where ita Chances of passing seem equally good. A bill la now peoding to .divert II,- 030,000 from tbe reclamation fond to drain tbe Dismal swamp in Virginia and North Carolina; another i pending to drain the Everglade of Florida; only a few day ago bill waa intro duced to take anoher 13,000,000, aad expend it in draining tbe big swamps of Arkansas and Misaouri, and, in ad dition, there are two bille pending for tbe drainage of swamp in Minnesota, and three general bill providing for the government drainage of swamps in all parts of the United State. , If tbe Hansbrough bill pa sees, it will open the way for theae other measurea of similar character, and it will be only a abort time before tbe greater portion t of the reclamation fund, instead of be ing need for irrigating tbe desert landa of the Wtt, a originally intended. will be expended in reclaiming swamp in state that have contributed not cent to tbe reclamation fund and never will contribute. Thia legislation is a' rank injustice to the West, which ia counting on' using ita cwn public land receipts for tbe reclamation of iita dee- erta, and nnlesa somebody calls a bait. tha work of government irrigation will soon be. brought to a standstill. It mast be remembered that, once thia precedent is established, it will be easy for delegate from the East and South to combine and force through bills for tbe drainage of the swamps in the non-a.id states, and if the East and South ever do combine for this purpose, the West will never nave enough vote to check the onslaught.
